When singer-turned-therapist Kenishaa Francis once gushed about how attractive Jayam Ravi was, few could have predicted that the two would eventually show up arm-in-arm at a high-profile wedding, dressed like a couple headed straight to the spotlight. But fast forward to 2025, and here we are—Ravi Mohan, fresh off a headline-making divorce, and Kenishaa, no longer just a fan in the crowd.
The internet is buzzing after the actor and the singer made a coordinated appearance at producer Ishari Ganesh’s daughter’s wedding, twinning in shades of ivory and gold as they sat beside each other, looking more like a power duo than just coincidental guests. The timing? Impeccable. The whispers? Deafening.
But before there was viral speculation, there was admiration—very public admiration. In a resurfaced interview with IBC Mangai, Kenishaa recalled her first meeting with the Ponniyin Selvan star. “I was like, Jayam Ravi, the Ponniyin Selvan actor, over here? I was like, oh my god,” she had said, recalling how she was both shocked and starstruck during one of her concerts where Ravi and his then-wife Aarti were in attendance.
“He was very sweet,” she continued. “I told him I was a very big fan of his. The fact that they actually came to the event is a big thing.” And then came the real gem: “Jayam came into the room and the first thing he said was ‘don’t be afraid.’ He’s very attractive. And his wife, I am a big fan. They are truly a significant matter of pride for me.”
How things change.
At the time, Ravi was very much married to Aarti Ravi—who, for the record, did not appreciate finding out about her divorce through the public grapevine. In a pointed open letter, Aarti revealed that she hadn’t even been informed before the separation was made public. Ouch.
Now, with Ravi and Kenishaa appearing together in coordinated ethnic wear and looking rather cozy, fans are wondering: was that “don’t be afraid” line the soft launch of a new chapter?
While neither party has officially confirmed a relationship, their chemistry and sudden shift from “fan and actor” to “rumored couple” has made it difficult for the internet to stay quiet. After all, when a former fangirl describes a married actor as “very attractive” and ends up color-coordinating with him post-divorce, it’s not just coincidence—it’s content.
Stay tuned. Because in this saga of songs, stardom, and silent signals, the next headline might just write itself.
